This is a Quatrain written about this piece of research, which found that white storks are altering their migratory patterns to feed from landfill sites, with evidence that some white storks are now resident nesting and living near landfill sites all year round, in Portugal and Spain. When these landfill sites are closed (as required by the EU Landfill Directives), it will likely have a radical impact on those same white storks that now call these sites home.
